8/5/2026 - Once again, this 11-Course Omakase has the best price for the money in Los Angeles. It is worth noting that the seared scallop, truffle butter this time is far better than the two small scallops that we had last time. Please stay with the one large scallop whenever possible! The services are excellent!
A typical fancy omakase meal that I'm not sure if I would come back. The menu only had 2 choices, wagyu or seafood set, $128 person. I enjoy most of the food, out of 11 courses, there 4 dishes with different type of steak, while the meat is good I think I expected more creativity?( Caz honestly I could probably do that at home myself with the quality of the meat). I feel the restaurant lacks decoration compare to most fancy upscale restaurant, so without the atmosphere, the vibe, the setting. I think the experience would be for food for the most part ... and I feel like they could make it more fancy if that make sense
Omaniku was one of my favorite meals of the year! Came here to celebrate my wedding anniversary and was delighted with the experience. It is located inside of the Sheraton hotel and everything inside is quite modern. The restaurant has a lounge steakhouse vibe to it. We made reservation using Resy for a Wednesday night. We ordered the Omaniku menu set which comes with 11 items and added a number of add ons to make the menu more spectacular. I recommend to try everything. Food tasted delicious, presentation was memorable, and the staff were spectacular. The drink menu was limited but had great options. I will definitely be dining here again!
Omaniku...oh man, where to start. It's tucked away in a Sheraton hotel; we went on a Monday night and there was only one other table serviced the entire time we were there. Felt like a private dining experience. We ordered one seafood menu and one beef menu and EVERY. DISH. WAS. 100/100! From the presentation, to the flavors, to the service - it was delectable! We added the Bone Marrow Rice and it was a hit. Soft yet crunchy hot rice in a clay pot, glossy fattening bone marrow, tender meat and a raw egg...what's not to love? The seared scallop with truffle butter was a delicious dish. The scallop was seared perfectly with a soft moist tender inside. The Unicrab was a close runner-up. I love uni and this dish was fresh, soft and buttery. The cold ice presentation was pretty cool too. Service was great, there was always someone near by to help answer questions and food came out promptly. If you enjoy eating fatty, tender meat and seafood and have a healthy liver, good cholesterol levels, or a low lipid panel...this is a must try.
It is a nice restaurant with the right ambiance. Drinks are good and the bartender was so attentive. As for the food, between meat and seafood, I would recommend to pick seafood over the meat as it is too overwhelming with no dish to cleanse your palette or vegetables dishes. The sauces were used tasted the same for almost all of them. As for the seafood, I would say the shrimp and the lobster were overcooked a bit. The spaghetti was very lacking in term of flavor and dry. Overall, if you're there for the alcohol then it is worth it.
Omaniku is a fine dining restaurant located in the Sheraton hotel in San Gabriel. Guests have the option between a beef or seafood tasting menu. We came as a party of 9 for my friend's birthday and all opted for the beef - the Omaniku tasting course. We were seated in a private room. It was relatively quiet with few other guests. The ambiance didn't feel quite right. I felt like I was sitting in a hotel lobby or an office conference room as opposed to a luxury restaurant. The lighting was a bit too bright, and the table, made up of several other tables with a tablecloth on top, had several bumps and gaps. I started with a Tokyo Night cocktail from the bar, which set me back $18. Sake base with grapefruit, grated ginger, nutmeg, and sparkling water. It was good. Sweet and refreshing with a strong rice wine flavor. The actual meal left me disappointed. It started strong enough. First, we had the Butterfly Yuzu Cleanser, a palate cleanser made of butterfly pea flower and yuzu. Then, our servers brought each of us an ornate black sphere. Opening it revealed a cloud of mist and a "one bite" beef tartare topped with uni and served on a nori cracker. The uni was fresh and buttery and melded beautifully with the raw beef. The nori gave a nice surprising crispness. The A5 Amuse was good too - more beef tartare served on a "one bite" spoon with truffle jelly. For me, the meal reached its peak here. I found fault with the remaining courses in one way or another whether it be their flavor pairing or quality of cooking. The next dish for example, the USDA prime skirt, was cooked tenderly, but its natural juiciness and aroma were vastly overpowered by the ponzu sauce and onion. The ponzu was very tangy. The onion was sweet, caramelized, and biting. All together, however, it was too much and the meat did not shine. In addition, there was too much onion. In terms of volume, I felt like there was more onion than meat on the plate. The chive on top was just overkill. Next was the short rib, which was largely unimpressive. The meat itself tasted bland with most of the flavor coming from the dill garnish. In this dish, the eggplant, which should have just been a side, outshined the beef. The vegetable trio dish was refreshing. I liked the pickled bamboo shoot and the tangy sauce. The green beans kinda just tasted like cold green beans. We then received a crab chawanmushi on the house because it was my friend's birthday. It was one of the better dishes of the night. The egg was silky, warm, and filling. The broth was umami and delicious. Then, we were each served an overcooked scallop with a side of garlic bread. The scallop was very disappointing. It was tiny. The texture was all wrong - mealy, stringy, and tough. It did not taste fresh. I was not getting truffle from the truffle butter. The broth and scallop were bland. The best thing on the plate was the garlic bread. The ribeye was fine. I don't remember much about it other than it was served with a Bordelaise sauce. The A5 Wagyu with goma sauce was.. Fine. Objectively, it tasted good. But when I compare it to similar dishes I've had, I wasn't too impressed. I think it was slightly overcooked as the edges were a bit charred. It was not as tender and buttery of a bite as I was expecting for A5 Wagyu. The bone marrow rice was a huge let down. I don't know why they chose to sear the bone marrow. It looked dry before they even began mixing it. I did not taste the bone marrow in the rice. I was expecting a fatty richness to coat the grains of rice, but I did not get that at all. Mango pudding was good. At $128 per person, this tasting menu is definitely expensive. Was the food disgusting? No. It was decent. But at this price, I was expecting so much more and was severely disappointed
Came here to celebrate a birthday with a reservation. At $128 for 11 courses, pretty reasonable. However, it was hit or miss for both the beef and seafood. Some courses were oddly more salty than others. If I had to pick between the two, I think seafood edges out the beef course, as the beef tended to be saltier more often. I don't recommend drinks, as they weren't memorable, and it's a separate check (served from the Sheraton bar) Got a chawanmushi on the house for SO's birthday. It was probably our fave thing - so silky, tasty, and hearty. 1. BUTTERFLY YUZU CLEANSER: Butterfly Pea Flower Tea blended with Japanese Yuzu. This is always a refreshing palette cleanser 2. UNIniku "Gold" Grade Beef Tartare with Truffle-Infused Yakiniku, Crispy Nori, and Fresh Uni. SO liked this beef more than the Seafood version which was topped with Dungeness Crab, which was more fishy than I would've liked. I did very much like the way it was served in a bowl of liquid nitrogen - that was quite cool. 3. a5 wagyu amuse A5 Wagyu Tartare served with in-house Ponzu Jelly. 3. seasonal oyster, ponzu jelly Fresh Seasonal Oyster topped with Delicate Ponzu Jelly. Small but tasty 4. SRF "GOLD" Outside Skirt, Ponzu sauce Snake River Farms Gold Grade Outside Skirt Finished with Ponzu 4. tiger prawns, Tangy mayo Seared Tiger Prawns served with Tangy Mayo. sizeable shrimps! yummy 5. srf "Gold" Short Rib, boursin yakiniku Gold Grade American Wagyu Short Rib with Boursin Yakiniku. we liked the boursin more than the meat... 5. Branzino, tomato sauce Branzino paired with a Tomato White Wine Reduction: crispy and yummy! 6. Celadon Trinity Ponzu Marinated Spring Mix with sliced Cucumber, Tomato, & Bamboo Shoots. Super refreshing, and one of our fave course. 7. seared scallops, truffle butter Pan-Seared Scallop served with Rich Truffle Butter and Crispy Garlic Toast. toast was yummy, scallop was pretty good too. Truffle butter on the saltier side. 8. SRF "GOLD" Ribeye Inside, Bordelaise Gold Grade American Wagyu Ribeye Inside Cut served with Bordelaise Sauce: not memorable 8. lobster tail, compound butter Lobster Tail served with Compound Butter (cooked with various spices): pretty good! 9. a5 wagyu, goma sauce Japanese A5 Wagyu paired with Nutty Sesame Goma Dressing 9. crab cake Savory Fried Crab Cake served with Snow Pea Purée. not impressed by this; also fishier than I would've liked 10. Bone marrow rice Rich Bone Marrow Rice Topped with Prime Beef, Egg Yolk, & Crispy Nori. saltyyyy 10. Creamy pasta Rich and Creamy Spaghetti Noodle topped with Snow Crab. Less heavy, compared to the bone marrow rice. i liked it! 11. Mango pudding Light and Refreshing Mango Pudding topped with Fresh Fruits and Mint. Tasty! Birthday dessert was a frozen version of the mango pudding with an artistic cherry blossom tree made with chocolate/matcha powders. so cool! Service was fast and friendly. I would recommend others to try this place, especially for an occasion - more so for the experience than for the food. Parking was validated and easy.
Food and service are great , worth to try if you are in San Gabriel area. Either beef or seafood 11 courses dinner. It's just perfect portion.
this is a hidden fancy omakase located in the hilton san gabriel. overall, i think the food is good but it's quite pricy especially with add-ons of drinks. you can choose between the meat and seafood menus, which we tried both of. by the end, we were all very full and a little overwhelmed with the richness of all the food. with the meat menu, i felt like it got a bit repetitive and became too heavy by the end that we had to take the final rice dish home. service was good as expected, nothing too crazy. I think the ambiance is quiet but nice. but also we are in the middle of the SGV so i feel like it takes away a little bit of the niceness compared to being in LA. and you could get similarly priced omakase meals in LA as well where there is more to do after. overall, i think it was a good experience to try but not sure if i'd do it again.
If you've never been here before, you absolutely have to give it a try. This is our go-to spot for birthdays and anniversaries, and they never disappoint us. The service is consistently attentive--they check in often, and our glasses are never empty. Our Server Dora is truly amazing. She always takes such great care of our group and makes every visit feel special. The food is consistently delicious, and the pricing is very reasonable for both the quality and portion sizes. We almost always end up taking food to go, which we really appreciate since many places don't allow that--especially while charging much higher prices. Their drink menu is also fantastic, and the kids' meals are always a hit. We'll definitely keep coming back for future celebrations. Thank you Omaniku! Thank you so much, Dora--we highly recommended!
My friend took me here for my birthday. The reservation was for lunch around 12pm on a Sunday. There is a good amount of street parking around and it's located inside the Sheraton San Gabriel hotel. There was no wait and maybe one other table when we arrived. The decor and interior are very nice and welcoming. I ordered the seafood tasting course and my bestie ordered the regular tasting course. I really enjoyed the uni crab and Wellington sea bass. I liked the bone marrow rice more from the regular tasting course over the one from the seafood but both menus are very good. Service was overall good and accommodating to my bestie who was pregnant to make sure everything fit the dietary needs. The lemon cheesecake at the end was definitely the most beautiful and shoe shopping. It actually also tasted very nice. Light and lemony so it was more refreshing than decadent. I enjoyed it here and the tasting course is more a special occasion type of thing for me, still reasonably priced for the quality and presentation.
My second time here and for sure will come more often. Excellent service and excellent food! Great place for celebrations and special occasions. Ambiance is nice and servers are very attentive.
Omaniku was awesome. The food was incredible, especially the wagyu, and the service made the whole experience even better
This place is the rarest of gems. My first experience here was a surprise from my girlfriend. She spent countless days (and possibly weeks) looking for an omakase experience that wasn't sushi. She nailed it with Omaniku. Little did I know, there was such a gorgeous restaurant in our backyard. We went with 1 steak menu and 1 seafood menu. Of course, we shared each course to get the full experience. I was blown away by the taste. The scallop course with truffle just took me to heaven and back. Words cannot describe the incredible richness of the sauce, the butteriness when you bite into the scallop, and the everlasting memory that is still clogged up in my brain. Everything else was near perfect. If you want A5 Japanese wagyu, they got you covered too. The courses had truffle, caviar, king crab, lobster, bone marrow and a bunch of other high quality ingredients. I literally felt like a king that night. Pictures don't do it justice, but I have them as reference. The icing on the cake was the insanely great service. Ryan, the manager of the restaurant, came and served us for the last half of our dining experience. He is very knowledgeable of the ingredients, accommodating to all of our needs, and is an asset to the restaurant. We even exchanged numbers for the next time that we book a reservation. Some of you guys may have heard of Yakiya. As prices have gone up and quality has gone down, do yourself a favor and look for a replacement. Omaniku is definitely worth your time. read more

Good Food with generous portions It is a bit pricy but it worths it if you don't go everyday. Staffs are nice and nice decorative; however u don't have much view. read more
I had a wonderful experience at Omaniku and my initial reservations dining at this establishment based on harsh reviews immediately vanished with the first bite. I chose the beef tasting menu, which had the perfect balance of beef and seafood dishes for me. From the beef tasting menu, the dishes that stood out to me were: - Uniniku: The buttery sweet uni with beef tartare placed on top of crispy nori was delicious. Also the plating on a bed of rocks with dry ice was visually very appealing. - Outside Skirt House Citrus: I love a good ponzu sauce and their house made sauce complemented the medium rare skirt steak nicely. - Lobster Chawanmushi (complimentary): The velvety soft egg custard was cooked perfectly. This was a very delicious surprise as a complimentary birthday dish. - Truffle Scallop: This dish blew me away. I'm not one to usually enjoy truffle dishes as the truffle flavor can be a bit overpowering. However, the truffle in the butter sauce was just perfect and paired beautifully with the nicely seared scallop. - Rib Eye Inside Una-Plum: The rib eye with the plum sauce was delicious. I love a good sauce that elevates the flavor of the meat. - A5 Wagyu Poached Egg: The marbling on the A5 wagyu was fantastic and served with the poached egg made this dish definitely one of the highlights of the meal. - Bone Marrow Rice: The bone marrow rice which was mixed with pieces of steak, bone marrow, kimchi, and spinach tasted exactly like the one at Yakiya and was a nice way to end the meal. Service was excellent and the pace of the dishes was very good. The only dish that was not to my complete liking was the rib-eye cap which was cooked medium well rather than medium to medium rare. Overall, it's a beautiful restaurant with great ambiance located in Sheraton. The restaurant validates parking for up to 3 hours in the underground lot. read more

Came here to with my grandparents and really enjoyed this meal. The food was delicious and great value considering the price. It was a 10 course meal and I was stuffed by the end. I opted for the seafood meal, though they are more known for the beef course. The seafood was so fresh and cooked perfectly. I really liked the uni crab, scallop and crab claw courses the most. But I enjoyed each dish individually. I would try the beef course next time but the I definitely recommend the seafood option. My only complaint was that the waiters didn't do a great job of explaining what each dish was so I had to refer to the menu a handful of times to see what I was eating. Otherwise no complaints! Free validated parking and the restaurant is located inside the Sheraton hotel. read more

OVERALL: 7.9/10 (Yelp Converted Score: 3.95/5; 4/5 rounded up). Got lucky with a same-day reservation. Good experience, would recommend trying it exactly once. My partner and I snagged a same-day reservation when her friend was re-confirming their Thursday evening reservation, and asked if they had reservations for that day (Saturday). They did - at 7:30pm or 8:30pm. We picked 7:30pm, and showed up promptly. The restaurant is inside the Sheraton - they'll (either the restaurant, or the hotel, with your food receipt) validate your parking for up to three hours, so that's great. VERDICT: Come for the novelty, but probably not worth coming back more than once. Try the meat and seafood one if you're coming as a pair; my partner and I both went for the seafood since there was only one course of A5 wagyu, and spending $100 on varying sizes of steak isn't my idea of a good evening (just saying). 1) VARIETY/SELECTION: 7.5/10. Given that you're not really ordering anything, you're at the whim of the "standard course menu". This isn't a bad thing on it's face - the variety of dishes was decent (in the sense that there were some that had accompaniments like noodles, and others that were just the item itself, like a crab leg). 2) FRESHNESS: 8/10. Portion size was ok. As my partner said, it's "somewhere I'd bring my parents to". Overall, the meal was filling, but not overly interesting (it's not using innovative flavours, incredible ingredients, or creative plating strategies). In terms of freshness, the uni / snow crab were delicious (not frozen), but other pieces were noticeably worse in quality (definitely pre-frozen, or at least cold enough that it would have frozen). 3) VALUE FOR MONEY: 6/10. It came out to roughly $300 after tax and tip, especially since the seafood "omaniku" was $125/person, for a "13-course meal" (they count the initial "liquid" and the cucumber + tomato fifth course, which are TINY). For ~$10/course/person, it's... not the biggest portion size, and honestly speaking, it's not the best use of your money. 4) SERVICE: 9.5/10. Hard to complain about this one. They promptly cleared plates when done, and filled our water cups constantly. There's so few tables that even at full capacity, there's probably one wait staff to every 2-3 tables, so it's not like they're going to neglect any individual table. 5) CONSISTENCY / FIRST IMPRESSION: 8.5/10. One thing I noticed was how "chaotic" the wait staff were. It was never the same person clearing plates, serving the next dish, or filling our water glass (it was usually a different person every time). I guess "organized chaos" can work as a strategy, but there HAS to be inefficiencies that can be solved here, right? read more
We celebrated our anniversary here this year. It's a nice place. Loved the high ceiling and the overall decor. We grabbed a rather early dinner so the place was pretty empty, just the way we like it. We got both beef and seafood tasting courses and shared everything. My personal favorites were Uniniku/Unicrab, Truffle Scallop, Black Cod Ozu, and Bone Marrow Rice. Least favorite was the dessert. It was bland and the texture was a bit off. It tasted and felt like astronaut ice cream. Service was great, and parking was validated for 3 hours. read more
Came here for dinner and was impressed. Its rare to see tasting menus like this in the SGV so I am glad this place opened so I can splurge here and there. We made dinner reservations at 730pm and were seated promptly. You have 2 options - Beef or Seafood tasting menu. The menu says you need to reserve the seafood at least a day in advance but we were still offered that option when we got seated. We both got beef though. I won't go over the entire 13 courses but everything was incredible. All the meats were tender, juicy and tasty. My favorite bites were the Uni with Beef and the A5 Wagyu. I was pretty stuffed at the end of the meal. My ONLY COMPLAINT is that their knifes are super dull. Wish it was sharper to cut them meats. read more

For the price that you are paying $125 for seafood and $108 for beef . You are getting good food and great presentation. I've come here twice and I don't think the beef option is that special or specifically that great. The flavors are all the same. However seafood there are so many more options to cook from that it's good. You always start with a bang with uni with king crab cracker or uni and beef tartare cracker. So creamy and good. Then for the seafood you get oysters, lobster tails, shrimp, crabs fried like tempura , crab legs, cod, Just so many different options be there beef just different parts of the beef but flavored alll the same way so there's not much dimension. We end with crab pasta but really should be uni pasta because by then the crab is so miniscule. The beef gets a bone marrow fried rice. The kimchee throws it off and not paired well. Kids menu is $2o for a plate of mixed beef,cod, fried shrimp, and veggies. Then a large bowl of fried rice. I wish they had a set menu for vegetarian friends . Doesn't have to be coursed but that way they can join too. read more

The homie invited me over to check out his new restaurant, so of course I had to go check it out! Located inside the Sheraton. Their interior is gorgeous. Beautiful high ceiling with a nice luxurious feel the moment you walk in. Beautiful bar area, but I believe it's linked to the Sheraton. Not sure if they have an alcohol license. I like that you can choose two options of protein. Either Beef course or Seafood course, but the Beef course does contain some seafood. Service was superb! Staff was very accommodating. Here's my beef course order * Uniniku * Ribeye Tataki Ponzu * Outside Skirt House Citrus * Hanger Steak Compound Butter * Grape Tomato Basil Glaze * Truffle Scallop * Ribeye Cap Salt & Pepper * Endive Crab King Salad * Ribeye Inside Una-Plum * A5 Wagyu Poached Egg * Bone Marrow Rice read more
This has to be one of the best meals I've ever had. For the price, the value you get is spectacular. This could easily be on par to my experience with a Michelin star omakase sushi meal. They are located inside the Sheraton Hotel and have self parking in the hotel garage, which we did. We validated our ticket for free parking after our meal with the restaurant so parking wasn't a problem. We got the Beef and Seafood menus, for $108 and $125, and each come as a 13-course meal. If you come as 2, definitely get one of each so you can try everything they offer because me and my bf had such a fun experience trying and comparing each other's menus. Beef Menu / Seafood Menu Uniniku / Unicrab ! Yuzu Ribeye ! / Oyster Outside Skirt ! / Lobster Claw Hanger Steak / Shrimp ! Tomatoes Scallop !! Rib-eye Cap ! / Black Cod Endive King Crab Salad Rib-eye Inside / Lobster Tail ! A5 Wagyu ! / King Crab Leg Bone Marrow Rice / Lobster Pasta ! Valentines Dessert !! It ended up being a tie because each menu had its own spectacular items. From the beef menu, the best was definitely the A5 Wagyu. From the seafood menu, the best was the tiger prawn. Both were so so tender and I love that they cook everything to a medium rare, even the seafood! Both menus have the scallop, which is their signature dish and that was the best of both menus! The scallop is so incredibly soft and tender and the buttery truffle sauce pairs so perfectly. Both menus start off with a Yuzu palate cleanser as well as tomatoes in the middle for another palate cleansing. The meal is ended off with carbs - bone marrow kimchi fried for the beef menu, and a deliciously creamy lobster pasta for the seafood menu. Holy cow let me just say their dessert is the best dessert I've ever had from a set course menu. We got their limited edition Valentines special dessert - Lemon Creme Brûlée Cheesecake and it was heavenly. So incredibly light, refreshing, soft, and splendid in flavor. It was just orgasmic to taste and I wish they had that for sale by itself. We wanted so badly to buy it by itself and spoke to Ryan, the manager about it. He was so kind to let us try the desserts that they offer on the regular menu - Mango Coconut Panna Cotta and oh my goodness even that was amazing. I can't believe their desserts are that good. The valentines lemon cheesecake was better but dang that panna cotta was so good still. The price for the 2 of us came out to about $250 which is so good for the value and experience we got. It's so much cheaper than a sushi omakase and although we didn't get to see the chef in action, the quality of the food as well as the ambience of Omaniku was super on par to that. I would definitely come back for any special occasion! Omaniku really knows how to elevate the fine dining experience with unique menus and amazing service. Apparently most of the workers came from Yakiya in Hacienda Heights, which has a similar concept of a beef omakase. I've been to Yakiya and I thought that was great, but coming here has blown it right out of the water. The experience may not be as traditional as Yakiya in terms of Japanese cuisine, but the menu is so much more innovative and unique, which is the reason Omaniku opened independent from Yakiya. The servers are all extremely informative and helpful and a huge shoutout to the manager Ryan for being so friendly and for giving us such a memorable Valentines Day dinner experience! read more
This place was recommended to us by a server from another Omakase place we had visited for my birthday last year so we decided to try this for Valentine's day! It did not disappoint for me. I love seafood so I opted that menu for my omakase. The service is really quick! In fact sometimes too quick! There were a lot of servers helping out so that was great. The food quality was superb and don't see any flaw. Parking is free inside the hotel! Would love to try their beef menu next time! read more
What a cool dining experience! This is experiential fine dining at its best. The dining room, although serving no views, is very clean, cozy and intimate. In addition, the staff are exceptionally friendly, informative and prompt. For the food, you have the choice between a seafood menu and a beef menu that both deliver a perfectly portioned and unique 13 courses at a reasonable price. They start you out with a palate cleanser and then the pacing between the courses afterwards were perfect with each course exceeding my expectations. I can't necessarily put into words how great the food was, so you'll have to try for yourself! The cocktails prepared by the bar are also phenomenal. You can absolutely call it a hidden gem as the restaurant and the luxury hotel it is located inside is in a rather unsuspecting area. I have zero complaints or suggestions and encourage anyone to try this dining experience if they have the opportunity! read more

This place is nothing short of amazing. I'm not sure if it's because it's my first time being in this sort of omakase-type meal, or if just every 1-2 bite portion they brought out was amazingly delicious, or maybe it's both! We experienced the beef course with 14 dishes, everything was amazing, even the peeled tomato with a sprig of basil. They had everything from uni and beef tartare to wagyu beef served with a perfectly poached eggs. This is definitely something to write home about! The bone marrow rice was a great finisher before having our mango panna cotta. Oh!! Their yuzu lemonade (not on menu) is the most delicious thing I've ever had to drink. I love yuzu and theirs is perfect!! read more
So I came here twice, the first time I came for my anniversary with my boyfriend and we ordered the meat one and it was really good similar to yakiya. The only thing (which is why I knocked it down one star) is we just started getting random cuts of meat.. like I could've sworn I was eating carne Asada meat. Whatever I didn't like I threw onto my boyfriends plate because he enjoys all meat. The second time I came with a girl friend for her birthday and we ordered the seafood menu. Everything was amazing! I highly recommend if you come here to go the seafood route, nothing dissapointed. We were both impressed with presentation and flavor. I would definitly come back again for the seafood menu again. The drinks were amazing! read more

The ambiance here was beautiful, located in the Sheraton in SGV. We came here to celebrate a birthday and the waiters were very friendly and attentive. We tried both the seafood and the beef omakase, and everything was presented nicely (the dry ice was a nice touch) My fav was the scallop, and my mom enjoyed the lobster pasta. I wouldn't say it's the best omakase experience I've had, but it's great that there's more fine dining restaurants in SGV now! I think it's pretty good value for the price. read more

Overall, I can see this being more of a convenient dining experience for people staying in sheraton hotel who wants something somewhat upscale. I personally would not go out of my way to come here. I think the 13 course beef meal was about $110 per person - not sure. Just remember paying around $140 total per person. Ambiance/Service (5/5): Service pretty standard, everyone was polite and attentive. Honestly the decor of the restaurant is one of the best I've seen. Didn't know sheraton had such incredible interior design. Food (3/5): Most of their dishes were pretty mediocre. The steak dishes were pretty boring and honestly the quality was subpar. We had the one thin slice of marbled beef, but it felt just lightly cooked and mixed with poached egg. Bone marrow rice was delicious for the first few bites, but got tiring as it was just too rich for me. I thought it was hilarious when they served their panna cotta dessert in the same glass they used to serve water. Courses that stood out - Truffle Scallop: Scallop was cooked nicely. The sauce was nice and rich. Truffle helped elevated it by adding a new flavor dimension. Bread on the side could've been softer or maybe heated up a bit, but it tasted good with the sauce. - Uni Niku: I personally think uni pairs really well with beef. In this case, that soft creamy sweetness paired really well with the rich beef tartar. Presentation was on point - mist/rocks gave it a nice wow factor. Red flags: - King crab dish had crab cartilage mixed inside. Please pay more attention because it is not a fun experience chewing/swallowing this. - Texture for most steaks were pretty bad. Had to chew a lot. I would rather have 1 solid meat course than 4 different underwhelming servings. Wouldn't recommend. $140 can get you a much more memorable experience. read more

This restaurant is located inside the Sheraton hotel, it has a very nice and cute interior decor. Friday night we came for dinner with a big group. They spit our group of 11 up in two tables opposite sides of each other with a table of 2 in the middle of us. We came for a birthday dinner, so splitting us up was unpleasant. We all did the set 13 course dinner and it was $108-125 per person depending on choice of beef or seafood. The course came out very slow and tasted mediocre. The service itself was pretty good and thank you Juan for being the best bartender and working so hard. The meats we got were all over cooked, and it required a lot of chewing. The only dish that was pretty good was the scallop with the bread because of the creamy sauce. The bone marrow rice was another dish that stood out as well, extremely tasty. Everything else was a bit disappointing or just not good in my opinion. There was a dish that was just tomatoes in some sauce. Reading their Yelp reviews we thought dessert was going to be something completely different than what we got. We had a red bean/green tea mouse on a cracker which is a new item they are testing. Honestly, didn't care for it at all. Overall, I left the place feeling unsatisfied with dinner. We were seated around 8:30 and didn't leave the place until almost 11. Their espresso martini was delicious and the only thing that was enjoyable. I don't think I would be returning back to this place at all. Overall: Ambience: 9/10 Food: 5/10 Service: 8/10 (service wasn't bad but food just came out really slow) read more

My boyfriend brought me here for a birthday dinner, and I can truly say it was such a wonderful meal. The restaurant is located on the first floor of the Sheraton Hotel, so at first we were confused about parking. The Sheraton has a parking structure available, which you can get validated at the restaurant, or there's also free neighborhood street parking as well. When you walk inside of the restaurant, you're immediately surrounded by stunning decor that made the establishment feel both grand yet also modern. It's a darker atmosphere and definitely a place where you'd want to get a little dressed up (but not overly fancy). We were immediately seated as we had a reservation, and all of the servers were so extremely generous to us. They always made sure that we were completely finished with our meals, timed it so that we'd be able to receive each course right away with little downtime, and even checked to make sure that everything was to our liking. They asked us whether they could fix the way they were preparing our food midway into the course just to ensure we were having a splendid time. Additionally, since they knew that we were here for a birthday occasion, they specially decorated their Lemon Cheesecake Brulee, giving it a beautiful plating with a simple Happy Birthday message on it. We ordered the Omaniku Tasting Course, which came with so much food I can't even list them all here. Every single dish was incredibly well made, with all of their steak dishes being so tender and topped with a delicious and unique sauce. When you first see the photos, you'd think that this wouldn't fill you up, however, after eating 11 courses you'll be so full. I couldn't even fully finish my last plate! For drinks, we were told that we had to order them separately through their hotel bar, which was also located inside of the restaurant. The bartender provided us with menus and took care of us separately from the rest of the restaurant. This means that there were two separate checks for the meal and the drinks. Overall, this was such a wonderful experience. This is definitely more of a place I'd recommend to those celebrating very special occasions and want to have a fancy night out! read more
I came here here for dinner with my brother and his girlfriend to celebrate my birthday on Monday. We preordered and opted for both beef and seafood tasting so we can try everything on their menu. Majority of the food was delicious! One of our server Julie was super friendly and made the experience great. My favorite were the truffle scallop, lobster tail and the different cuts of beef. The beef were full of flavors and very tender. They gave us the steamed egg on the house. Towards the end, service did slow down and there were a mixup in our order but it was resolved. Overall great experience. The restaurant is located in the Sheraton in San Gabriel with 3 hour free validated parking. read more

I'm writing this just to warn you. I spent 3 hours here but was ready to leave an hour in. We ordered the 13-course beef and seafood set. For a restaurant that specializes in beef, there was nothing special about the beef they served despite their best efforts to showcase different cuts. The mediocrity is especially pronounced because most were prepared as thin slices seasoned with salt and pepper. The first course of uni tartare on a nori cracker was the real winner - it gets you all excited for the meal when it arrives in a fancy presentation with liquid nitrogen smoking away. It was a good metaphor for the meal: a smokescreen to hide the inadequacy of the rest of dinner. Everything that wasn't seafood was beyond boring topped with some micro greens. The last course before dessert, bone marrow kimchi fried rice, felt so out-of-place with the addition of kimchi. Service was fine. I really wanted to like this place and regret not going with the seafood only set, but I don't see myself returning. read more

If you are looking for an excellent restaurant to celebrate your best friend's birthday? Wedding Anniversary? Any special occasion. You are at the right place. We been here couple times to celebrate my hubby's birthday and my best friend's birthday. They never disappoint us. The birthday bone marrow bomb is very fun. My hubby and my BFF did it really well . Our Server "Dora" is one of the best server we ever had. She is very attentive, always checking on us, and even she is wearing her mask, We can still see her beautiful smile. Our kids also enjoy their kids meals too (they love their kids fried rice , every kids said the same thing...it is the best fried rice . Their drinks are amazing too. They are not only tasty, they are very beautiful too. So glad you are so close to our home. We will be back very soon. read more

Food excellent. Servers excellent. Ambiance excellent. The food quality is excellent and a great value. I was surprised at the amount of food and high quality ingredients for their pricing. You can tell the chef has put heart and passion into every dish. Servers were beyond attentive and friendly. I felt they were very down to earth and friendly the whole while giving an upscale vibe to the place. I can't wait to go again. Thanks so much to the team of Dora, Ken, and David that made our night and my birthday meal so special. Until next time. I can not remember what everything was as I was too excited to just devour the food. Enjoy the pics everyone. read more
Went with the half meat half seafood option. The courses came out quicker than expected. Thought I would be there for about 2 hours, but finished eating within 1.5 hours. My top 3 were: Scallop, Endive with crab salad and the Wagyu with poached egg However, the the Inside Cut and Dessert needs to go... there was nothing spectacular about the Inside Cut. It tasted like a regular steak that you can order from a cafe. The dessert was awful... sorry. Hear the menu will change soon, so would like to see what's new in the future. Shoutout to Julie for being such a fun and amazing server! read more

I wanted to love this place, but I didn't. Food was just ok, service was ok and drinks were ok. Nothing mind blowing or special about the experience. If you done other multi-course tasting meals, you wouldn't think anything special of this one. It also bothered me that throughout the meal my utensils never got changed. Call me picky but every time I go to a fine dining restaurant, I like my utensils to be changed after every course. I usually like giving 5 stars. However, I cannot give this place five stars when they overcook the wagyu!!!!! read more

Definitely a place I would go back to! My boyfriend surprised me with a dinner here for my birthday and it did not disappoint! ENVIRONMENT: The restaurant is within the Sheraton hotel so you would have to use hotel parking. But it can be validated and there was plenty. The inside is nice and chic with comfy chairs. FOOD/SERVICE: The food was amazing! We both got the beef omakase which is not common in the 626 area. Each dish tasted amazing with all the meat being super soft. My personal favorite was the skirt cut steak with house-made ponzu sauce but I am biased to ponzu. We got a free lobster ball dish and lemon brulee cake for my birthday which was super nice of them. The service was A++ in my book. The waitresses explained all the dishes well and great to make conversations. They asked if I would like happy birthday song when they gave the cake which was super thoughtful. Other places would've just sang but I appreciated the thought of consent! My boyfriend said he made a reservation on Resy but the waitress said it's also good to call ahead for a spot. So definitely book your spot because it's a great experience to have! read more
Omaniku is a must come for anyone who enjoys Japanese fine dining cuisine. After dining at and absolutely loving Yakiya, I was thrilled for the opportunity to dine at Omaniku for my birthday. The restaurant is located in a Sheraton, and I felt like the overall restaurant mood matched the atmosphere of the hotel and its lobby. The design concept seems chic and modern. There is an aesthetically pleasing bar to the right that welcomes the guests right away, and a server promptly asks if you have a reservation. We were seated right away and we ordered some drinks as we agreed upon getting a beef tasting menu and a seafood tasting menu, so we can try best of both worlds. This is something Yakiya is lacking, a seafood option. I enjoy meat but I prefer seafood so opting for this duo set felt like the perfect choice. I got to try everything included in my seafood course, as well as a bite of my fiance's beef course. Butterfly Yuzu Cleanser: butterfly pea flower tea with japanese yuzu-- nice, tart palette cleanser to start the meal with-- you can drink it all at once or take a sip and a sip after a course to cleanse the palette Unicrab: nori cracker with alaskan king crab with Santa Barbara uni on top-- perfect one bite dish, with the creamy richness from the uni complimenting the soft decadent king crab and the crispness of the nori cracker adding a nice texture contrast to the creaminess Kumamoto Oyster Ponzu Jelly: fresh, buttery oyster with an interesting ponzu jelly that is strange but works well with the oyster Lobster Claw Goma: deep fried lobster claw with white sesame sauce-- this was perfectly fried, with the perfect batter and light sauce that paired with the claw perfectly Tiger Prawn Tangy-Mayo: seared tiger prawn served with tangy mayo-- this is how ALL shrimp should taste when you bite into it, that crunch tho Ponzu Tomatoes with Pickled Cucumbers: drizzled in basil sauce-- I thought this was just okay, it was lacking a bit more flavor in my opinion, despite it just being a tomato and cucumber Seared Scallop with Truffle Butter: pan seared scallop with truffle white butter sauce served with toasted French baguette-- best dish of the night, the sear was absolutely incredible on this big, fresh scallop and dipping the bread in the sauce was outta control, girl! Black Cod Ozu: pan seared black cod with snow pea and ozu-- ozu, the citrus based sauce goes so well with the super fresh black cod and this was another favorite of the night Endive King Crab Salad: king crab served on endive topped with ponzu jelly and tobiko caviar-- judging by pictures and just how much I love the ingredients in this dish, I thought this would be stellar but I felt like it was missing something and it was texture, it lacked the crispness of a fresh endive, but was rather soft and this dish needs a texture contrast Lobster Tail Compound Butter: delicious, what else can I say? It's lobster and butter! I like that it was a smaller lobster, it had a better texture. Baked Alaskan King Crab: served with savory sriracha based butter-- this dish should have been in my top 5 but unfortunately it was a bit overcooked that night Lobster Pasta: I loved how al dente the noodles were and the bites of lobster in each bite Chawanmushi: received it as a complimentary birthday gift-- topped with lobster and SO silky smooth and delicious Japanese A5 Wagyu: perfectly sliced, cooked to perfection and served with poached egg-- my favorite dish from the beef set, absolute must try! The meal ended with ube gelato served with honey butter wafers and fresh strawberries. This sounds like a simple dessert but I enjoyed every last bite of this. I love that it wasn't an overly complicated dessert nor a sweet dessert. I think after trying both sets, I would actually get the beef set next time. I do have to say, I love both Yakiya and Omaniku for different reasons and I give each restaurant a 10/10 for experience, food quality, service, innovation, and price point. read more

Came to celebrate my hubby's birthday and we were not disappointed. It's located inside the Sheraton hotel and you can get the parking validated for free so no need for valet. There are 13 courses with bite size for each but we were both full in the end. I like the fact that they have 2 choices for the prefix menu, beef and seafood. I got the beef and hubby got the seafood one, we get to share some of the plates. Gotta say the flavors are very on point and consistent for most of the dishes. The price is also a steal for the prefix menu at $128 per person. For my husband's birthday we also got an extra item to try on the house, the steamed egg with crab topping which is so soft and silky. Ambience is fancy and intimate. Definitely recommending it. read more

I'm taking the fam for dinner. My kids are 10 and younger. Do they have kids menu?
No, they only have two Omakase menus - One for Seafood and the other for Meat, but you can order each dish one by one without selecting the Omakase menu.
Is there vegetarian option?
Is this same management as Yakiya? Menu looks similar.
Far from it...Yakiya is significantly better.
Are walk ins allowed?
It is highly recommended to make reservations since they specialize in omakase. This will allow the restaurant to properly allocate the ingredients needed to create and enhance your omakase experience.
What's the prices between the 2 course?
What is your corkage fee? Is there a wine list?
